More people should have read 1984. It was cathartic for me and I'm sure it would be cathartic for a great swath of people now too zombified to return to life, vegging out to the latest Big Brother episode.
Doubt it. Roman law's central tenet is that the State is the supreme force from which all law and rights emanate, and that the citizen is a subject of the State. Contrast to common law, where the central tenet is that government emanates from the people.
Not that it matters very much. See how the U.S. government is completely unaccountable and irresponsible, despite supposedly being "a government by the people, for the people" in accordance to the central tenet of common law. That's what you get when the populace has been dulled into apathy by so much MPAA and RIAA.
Sure, why not, abdicate your ultimate responsibility to protect yourself, your loved ones and your property. Buy insurance that will not keep you alive, help fund research that will not save anyone you care about. Buy, buy, buy more, but under no circumstances resist abuse or crime, either from government or from wrongdoers. Father Government and Acolyte dontmakemethink know best.
Moron. If your life or your loved ones are in grave immediate danger by an assailant, you have a DUTY to kill the assailant if you have clear advantage. No one is going to do it for you unless you're a white female in distress. And if you think your life is not worth defending with all means possible, then very probably your life isn't worth anything at all.
Your cowardice disgusts me. I sincerely hope nothing bad happens to you (however likely you are to experience such an event at least once in your lifetime), but I will never tolerate cowards like you, discoursing and setting public policy that prevents me from defending what's mine and what's dear to me.
The severity is that you can submit your own glue records with the attack. You get to set what DNS server is queried for any second-level domain, get it?
...is not just that you can race legit DNS servers for legit queries, is that you can request recursive resolution for bullshit DNS servers, while submitting fake answers WITH malicious informational records that let you poison second-level domains. So by requesting xxjk3j.google.com while submitting your own coolly crafted answer, you can make the victim DNS use YOUR DNS as authoritative for the future google.com replies.
THAT is the significance of the attack. THAT is what matasano pulled.
I have the entirety of the text of the article, since it's on my feed reader. You do not need to piece it together. Just ask me for it.
The futility of recalling the article should be a very good example of the stupidity in this "don't speculate about the DNS vuln" moronic exercise that is doing the rounds these weeks.
"There is a reason modern keyboards are quiet and it's not because of cheap manufacturing. It's common courtesy."
Screw you and your common courtesy. Do you know what common courtesy is? Not busybodying into other people's affairs. I'm not gonna slow my work down just because you won't get a pair of $1 earplugs. Now go take your ADHD medication and screw off.
The virtue of a mechanical actuator keyboard (what you call click keyboard) is NOT JUST the click sound (which as feedback is great).
The real virtue is that every key has a mechanical actuator with a small spring that "breaks" halfway through the depression action, and "unbreaks" when you remove pressure from the key. When the spring is "broken" it makes contact, and at the same time greatly reduces the amount of resistance of the key.
The trick is that the instant you feel that almost imperceptible "give-in", you unconsciously KNOW that you've actuated the key you hit. So when you've made a mistake you can backspace over it real quick, with no interruption of workflow. Have you ever depressed two keys by accident, not being sure if the two keys went through or just one? This sort of typing error is impossible to miss with a mechanical actuator keyboard. Ever hit the wrong key, but you're not sure if you hit it all the way? With normal keyboards, you can't tell, but with these types of keyboards, you know. When you type with a mechanical actuator keyboard, your fingers rest, because they don't need to go all the way down or with full force to actuate the keys -- this is a measured and documented fact -- therefore there is no abrupt stop that ripples through your knuckles.
If you type for a living, it would be very stupid not to use a mechanical actuator keyboard.
My Model M is a dream come true. Thanks to it, I do a 100 words per minute. I have never ever typed as fast with another keyboard. And I plan on keeping it for another ten years.
Unrelated: to the guy somewhere in this thread that abhors Model Ms with cries of "common courtesy": you have two choices: (1) Get a pair of earbuds, or (2) FUCK YOU.
That's true. Use two USB hard drive enclosures, RAID1ed with ZFS. Then all you need to do is periodically scrub them to see if they have rot and ZFS will repair them automatically. You can also use them with rotating backup systems like dirvish, or update the backups with ZFS send if your computer has a main ZFS filesystem.
Exploits for Linux distributions of the same arch usually work across distros and kernel version brackets, and the toolchain doesn't have an influence on them. So your point is moot.
No, it can't. You can't remove a license from a work just like that. Eben Moglen dispelled this myth a couple weeks ago with the Linux guys that were copying drivers from the BSD world and GPLing them.
Slow down cowboy, no one knows if Nina's dead. And the file system is of the utmost importance of at least to me, where I keep 400 GB of irreplaceable files.

You do realize you're "No True Scotsman"ning us, right?
No. The first cap is a transfer cap. Bandwidth and throughput are the same, measured in units/s.

Come on, that was fucking hilarious. And as far as I can recall, those were Ebaums.

I think he meant that the absence of publicity can be considered to be "bad publicity in itself"?
Or maybe I parsed the sentence backwards.

Yes, they have forensics tools for Linux. They're called "SELinux". ;-)
Frankly, I don't know of anyone who has audited the SELinux trojan horse.
...and, of course, gassing him afterwards. Old habits die hard :-).
(Yes, it's a very bad Godwinism).

Didja even read the fucking article? He's NO WAY EVEN CLOSE to acting like the boss of Linux.
